Bedford has gone 9-1 against Merrimack recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Bedford Bulldogs will look to defend their home court against the Merrimack Tomahawks at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Bedford's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.

Last Tuesday, Bedford narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Dover 80-78. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' New Hampshire basketball rankings (they are ranked tenth, while the Green Wave are ranked 59th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Merrimack). They enjoyed a cozy 75-60 victory over Concord on Tuesday.

Bedford's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-3. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 80.8 points per game. As for Merrimack, their victory bumped their record up to 5-6.

Bedford strolled past Merrimack in their previous matchup back in February of 2024 by a score of 74-56. Will Bedford repeat their success, or does Merrimack have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
